 people from stealing my password ?

Hi,

When I write a program that outputs encrypted pdfs, I also nee to hardcode the password somehow in my code. Or I call a server and fetch password - but for that I have to hardcoode the identification to the server in my code...

So somehow a user could scan or decompile and scan my program for passwords - and then open this encrypted pdf. I don't want to allow that!

How do I generate encrypted pdf, without somehow hardcoding the password used to generate them ?

Cheers,
jago
